Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal material processing equipment, and in particular to a medicinal material slicing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Medicinal materials refer to the raw materials used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In China, this specifically refers to Chinese medicinal materials, which are unprocessed or unprocessed raw materials for traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is a traditional Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicinal culture is ancient, profound, and extensive. It encompasses thousands of years of traditional Chinese medicine civilization while also integrating modern Western medicine civilization, creating a unique cultural phenomenon that combines Chinese and Western medicine. It is an important part of China's outstanding culture.

[0003] Slicing medicinal herbs is a method of processing traditional Chinese medicine. It involves cutting washed and softened herbs into slices, based on their texture, size, thickness, or other characteristics, using machines or manually. Generally, a slicing mechanism is used. Different herbs require different thicknesses of slices. In the authorized Chinese utility model patent "Announcement No.: CN217620910U, Title: A Slicing Device for Traditional Chinese Medicine Slices with Adjustable Thickness," the device uses a limiting plate, screw, nut, and stabilizing plate to facilitate the cutting of medicinal herbs according to their desired thickness. Adjusting the distance between the limiting plate and the cutting blade, through the cooperation of the motor, reciprocating screw, slider, lifting plate, and cutting blade, facilitates the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the cutting blade to cut Chinese medicinal materials. However, in the above application, although the distance between the cutting blades can be adjusted, the number of cutting blades is limited due to the limitation of the adjustment structure, resulting in a small number of materials that can be cut at one time, which affects the overall cutting efficiency of the medicinal materials. At the same time, the cutting blade generally relies on the frictional resistance of the screw or the adjustment structure itself to limit the position of the cutting blade, which makes the cutting blade prone to shaking during cutting and affects the cutting accuracy.

[0056] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0057] Figures 1 to 6 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of an embodiment of the medicinal herb slicing mechanism of this utility model. The medicinal herb slicing mechanism includes a support platform 1.

[0058] A support frame 2 is installed on top of the support platform 1, and the support platform 1 and the support frame 2 are used to provide overall support;

[0059] Cutting component 3 is disposed in the inner cavity of the support frame shell 2, and the cutting component 3 is used to cut medicinal materials;

[0060] A locking mechanism, comprising a locking component 4 and a driving component 5 connected to each other, wherein the driving component 5 is used to drive the locking component 4 to operate, the locking component 4 is connected to the cutting component 3, and the locking component 4 is used to lock the position of the cutting component 3;

[0061] The lifting component 6 is connected to the support frame 2 and the cutting component 3 respectively, and the lifting component 6 is used to provide driving force for the cutting operation of the cutting component 3.

[0062] When in use, first adjust the distance between adjacent cutting blades 34, then use the drive component 5 to drive the locking component 4 to run, use the locking component 4 to lock the position of the cutting blade 34, and then use the lifting component 6 to adjust the height of the cutting component 3 and the locking component 4. At this time, the medicinal material is placed on the top of the support platform 1 and is located below the cutting component 3.

[0063] When the cutting blade 34 moves down, it can slice the medicinal material. Multiple cutting blades 34 allow multiple slices of medicinal material to be cut in one go.

[0064] After the medicinal materials are cut, the cutting blade 34 moves upward. At this time, the cleaning component 7 can be used to clean the surface of the cutting blade 34 and remove any medicinal material residue on the surface of the cutting blade 34.

[0065] In this technical solution, multiple cutting blades 34 are provided, which can cut the medicinal material into multiple slices in a single operation, thereby improving the efficiency of medicinal material slicing. The positions of the multiple cutting blades 34 can be adjusted arbitrarily, and each cutting blade 34 can be adjusted individually to adapt to the slicing requirements of different thicknesses, making it convenient for different types of medicinal materials. The locking component 4 can lock the positions of the multiple cutting blades 34 simultaneously, with a good locking effect, preventing the cutting blades 34 from shaking, improving the cutting accuracy, and thus improving the effect of medicinal material cutting.

[0066] The cutting assembly 3 includes four fixed posts 31 arranged in a rectangular array, and the two ends of the four fixed posts 31 are respectively connected to the fixed housing 32;

[0067] Multiple mounting plates 33 are slidably connected to the surface of the fixed column 31, and a cutting blade 34 is connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 33.

[0068] In this technical solution, the position of the cutting blade 34 can be adjusted by using structures such as the fixed column 31.

[0069] When in use, the locking component 4 is moved away from the mounting plate 33. At this time, under the action of the fixing column 31, the mounting plate 33 can be moved, thereby driving the cutting blade 34 to move. The position of the cutting blade 34 is moved, thereby adjusting the distance between adjacent cutting blades 34, thus adjusting the thickness of the slice. This can meet different cutting needs and can adjust different cutting thicknesses according to different types of medicinal materials, expanding the applicability of the slicing mechanism.

[0070] The locking component 4 includes two movable rack plates 41, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the mounting plate 33. Fixed tooth blocks 42 are connected to both sides of the mounting plate 33. The movable rack plates 41 and the fixed tooth blocks 42 engage when they are in contact.

[0071] In this technical solution, the position of the cutting blade 34 can be locked using the locking component 4.

[0072] Two symmetrically distributed connecting pillars 43 are connected to one side of the movable rack plate 41, and the surface of the connecting pillars 43 is slidably connected to the side of the fixed housing 32.

[0073] The end of the connecting support 43 away from the movable rack plate 41 is connected to a movable plate 44, and the movable plate 44 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded shaft 45.

[0074] In this technical solution, the position of the movable rack plate 41 can be adjusted using the threaded shaft 45.

[0075] When in use, the rotation of the threaded shaft 45 can drive the moving plate 44 to move, thereby driving the connecting support 43 to move in the same direction, and further driving the moving rack plate 41 to move in the same direction.

[0076] Overall, the movable rack plates 41 on both sides can move towards each other or away from each other simultaneously. When the movable rack plates 41 are in contact with the fixed toothed blocks 42, they engage, which can lock the positions of the mounting plate 33 and the cutting blade 34.

[0077] When the moving rack plate 41 moves away from the fixed tooth block 42, the locking of the mounting plate 33 and the cutting blade 34 can be released.

[0078] The drive assembly 5 includes a bidirectional drive source 51 and a mounting housing 53, the bottom of which is connected to the top of the fixed housing 32.

[0079] A bidirectional drive source 51 is installed in the inner cavity of the mounting housing 53, and both output ends of the bidirectional drive source 51 are connected to a rotating shaft 52.

[0080] One end of the rotating shaft 52 is connected to the upper end of the transmission shaft 55 via the upper transmission part 54, and the surface of the transmission shaft 55 is rotatably connected through the bottom surface of the mounting housing 53 and the top surface of the fixed housing 32.

[0081] The lower end of the drive shaft 55 is connected to one end of the threaded shaft 45 via the lower drive part 56.

[0082] In this technical solution, the drive component 5 can be used to drive the rotation of the threaded shaft 45.

[0083] The upper transmission unit 54 includes two meshing upper bevel gears, which are respectively connected to one end of the rotating shaft 52 and one end of the transmission shaft 55.

[0084] In this technical solution, the upper transmission part 54 is used to drive the mounting housing 53 and the transmission shaft 55.

[0085] The lower transmission part 56 includes a central bevel gear, the top of which is connected to the lower end of the transmission shaft 55, and side bevel gears meshing with both sides of the central bevel gear, which are respectively connected to one end of the threaded shaft 45.

[0086] In this technical solution, the lower transmission part 56 can drive the transmission shaft 55 and the threaded shaft 45.

[0087] In use, the bidirectional drive source 51 drives the rotating shaft 52 to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting housing 53 to rotate, which in turn drives the upper transmission part 54 to rotate. At this time, the transmission shaft 55 can be driven to rotate, which in turn drives the lower transmission part 56 to rotate, thereby causing multiple threaded shafts 45 to rotate.

[0088] The lifting assembly 6 includes a lifting device 61 and a connecting plate 64. The lifting device 61 is connected to the inner wall of the top surface of the support frame shell 2. A connecting frame 62 is connected to the bottom end of the lifting device 61. The bottom of the connecting frame 62 is connected to the top of the mounting shell 53.

[0089] The bottom of the connecting plate 64 is connected to a plurality of anti-deviation columns 63. The surface of the anti-deviation column 63 is slidably connected to the top surface of the support frame shell 2, and the bottom end of the anti-deviation column 63 is connected to the top of the fixed shell 32.

[0090] In this technical solution, the height of the cutting component 3 can be adjusted by the lifting component 6, thereby cutting the medicinal materials.

[0091] In use, the lifting device 61 drives the connecting frame 62 to move, thereby driving the cutting blade 34 and other structures to move up and down, and the cutting blade 34 is used to cut the medicinal materials.

[0093] A cleaning brush 72 is connected to the surface of the central column 71, and sliding plates 73 are connected to both ends of the central column 71;

[0094] The sliding plate 73 is slidably connected to the surface of the reinforcing column 74, and the two ends of the reinforcing column 74 are respectively connected to the inner side wall of the support frame shell 2.

[0095] In this technical solution, the cleaning component 7 can be used to clean the surface of the cutting blade 34, preventing the residue of medicinal materials from adhering to the surface of the cutting blade 34 and preventing it from affecting the next cut.

[0096] Two sliding plates 73 located on the same surface of the reinforcing column 74 are connected by an elastic connector 75, which is sleeved on the surface of the reinforcing column 74.

[0097] In this technical solution, the elastic connector 75 is used to enable the cleaning brush 72 to clean the cutting blades 34 at different positions, thereby improving the flexibility of the cleaning component 7 during use.

[0098] As the cutting blade 34 moves upward, it passes through the cleaning brush 72. The cleaning brush 72 cleans the surface of the cutting blade 34 to prevent medicinal residue from adhering to the surface of the cutting blade 34 and affecting the next cut.

[0099] Furthermore, thanks to the elastic connector 75, the contact force between the cleaning brush 72 and the surface of the cutting blade 34 is higher, thus improving the cleaning effect.
